What I Do Off-Campus

Luckily, CCSU is in an area that has SO much to do around it! We're also allowed to have cars on campus as a freshman, which definitely makes getting off campus easier. However, a lot of the time, if we're just casually hanging out with friends, we'll walk. Right off campus we have a huge mall, which my roommate and I go to frequently, and another just 15 minutes away! We lucked out because Central is surrounded by Rite-Aid, CVS, Stop & Shop, Target, and other convenient stores that make getting essentials a lot easier. Panera, Chilli's, Olive Garden, Red Robin, and Rainforest Café are just a few of the restaurants right nearby if when we decide to go off campus for dinner. If we're looking for something fast, we have a Taco Bell, McDonald's, and a Burger King all really close—I practically live in the Dunkin' Donuts, Froyo World, and Subway right off campus!

My friends and I often hang out with other people off campus too, especially since a bunch of them chose to get off-campus houses or apartments. If you have yet to explore the town where your college is located, I suggest you do it with some friends soon! Getting off campus at least once in a while is a nice break from studying and the normal dorm and academic building activities.
